    I am 35 with a 12 year old and 9 year old daughter. I have lost 31 pounds with 22 more to go. One of my biggest challenges is the guilt I feel when I work all day and then work out after work, but I know that it is for the best. Feel free to add me, I need motivating friends! :)

    I'm 30 and mum to 8yo and 4yo girls and a 1yo boy. I've been fat all my life (except for when I met my husband at 16, I spent about a year being really fit then had to drop sport for weekend/after school work (had to pay board to my mum) and study. I decided after seeing a pic of myself at Easter that I'd finally do something about my huge weight (was over 105kg) so I found MFP. I've been up and down over the last few months, losing and gaining the same 2kg, but I'm back in the right mindset at the moment to get some more losses on the board! I bought my first weight set yesterday and I'm going to start Stronglifts 5x5 and lift heavy! Look out!

    I'm eating around 1850-1900 cals a day. I tried 1200 for 2 days and was sick, lightheaded and hangry! I ate all the sweets in the pantry and started at a more moderate deficit the following day. I realised that for me to stick to this lifestyle change I'd still need to eat and be happy!

    Stats

    Height: 163cm
    SW: 105.7kg
    CW: 101.7
    GW: 65-70kg (or an Aussie size 12, If I'm 70kg with low BF% and lots of muscle I'd be happy!)

    If you have the same or similar fitness goals as me then feel free to add me :)

    I'm 34 & have three kids ages 8,5, & 5 1/2 weeks old. I've just started back to working out post-partum. With a busy house and trying to juggle life with three, I'm learning how to fit exercise in all over again. I'd appreciate support from other moms who've been there or are going through the same now. Feel free to add me.

    Hello I just turned 31 in June. I have been married 10 years and I have a 11, 9 and 5 year old. I am 55 and I weight 202. I lost from 214lbs down to 189lb then screwed up and gained back to 202. I really want to be 135lbs but at the moment 175 sounds good.

    Hello! I am 38, a SAHM with 2 children, ages 17 and 15. I am only 1 week into my journey. My goal is to lose 30 pounds and get toned. I can truly say that I feel soooo much better now that I am working out regularly, changed my diet and am drinking much more water (in place of soda and juices). Please feel free to add me :)

    Hi, I'm a 33 year old working mother of two (almost 4 and 15 months). My diary is also open, so feel free to friend me. I could also use the support to get into shape. I'm currently using Jillian Micheal's 90 Day Body Revolution and I'm struggling to do it consistantly. I would love to gain some friends and support here too! :flowerforyou:

    I am 38 years old and have two boys. They are twelve and eight. I have been on a platue for over a year. I really want to kick it and move forward. I have been working on losing the last 10-20 lbs for over 2 years. Things just seem to keep happening. Not making excuses, I just keep going and do what I can do. Would love more friends on MFP!

    I'm 32 and have 5, a 15 year old a 14 year old a 7, 6, and my baby destiny 5 year old. Having back to back kids shot and killed my body. My 7 and 6 year old are only a few days apart in birthdays but was trying to give my husband a football player and he got stuck with cheerleaders.
